Yep. 3.0 will fully support command-line mode. Currently I think you
have
to enter the proxy data in GUI mode, but it is stored once entered and
should be used in command-line mode.

FYI the developer just released the new kits with the proxy fixes.
They should be on the servers later today or tomorrow.

Waiting for some testing results on the proxy changes. The developer has
been saying any day now for a few days, so I'm still hopeful it will
be released Real Soon Now. I'll see what I can do to hurry this along.

The version in Q104 is planned to be 3.0. We've in the middle of a lot
of usability validation on a new "wizard" style interface and other
fixes
and enhancements that will make it easier to run installscape
"standalone"
instead of tied to the web browser as its "search engine", and in
general
make it easier to understand how to use installscape.

Henry.

We're testing a new version installscape that has some proxy fixes. If
all goes well there will be a new version available for download in a
few days.

InstallScape was developed by KTI but is now owned and supported by
Cadence.
The current menu structure reflects the original KTI intent of
InstallScape
as a psuedo browser, but virtually all of that functionality is
unsupported
and unused. The current setup of InstallScape requires using the web
interface
at http://downloads.cadence.com/ to search for and locate Releases to
download
and install Products they contain. You need a Sourcelink login to access
the
web page, and again when InstallScape contacts the fileserver to
download the
Products (kits). The web page provide links to "sdl" files that contain
URLs
pointing to the Release. If your web browser is configured to start
InstallScape
as a helper app when you click on a .sdl file, it will start
InstallScape and
feed the downloaded .sdl file to it, which in turn points InstallScape
to the
Release path in the .sdl file.

The next major release of installscape will better support running in
standalone
mode in addition to its web browser/helper app mode.

I got it to work by closing down installscape and starting over. This
time it filled in the package information under the installation
directory (was missing last time). Note that when I did get the

Yep. 3.0 will fully support command-line mode. Currently I think you
have
to enter the proxy data in GUI mode, but it is stored once entered and
should be used in command-line mode.

FYI the developer just released the new kits with the proxy fixes.
They should be on the servers later today or tomorrow.

Waiting for some testing results on the proxy changes. The developer has

InstallScape was developed by KTI but is now owned and supported by
Cadence.
The current menu structure reflects the original KTI intent of
InstallScape

unsupported
and unused. The current setup of InstallScape requires using the web

download
and install Products they contain. You need a Sourcelink login to access
the
web page, and again when InstallScape contacts the fileserver to

Products (kits). The web page provide links to "sdl" files that contain
URLs
pointing to the Release. If your web browser is configured to start
InstallScape
as a helper app when you click on a .sdl file, it will start
InstallScape and
feed the downloaded .sdl file to it, which in turn points InstallScape
to the
Release path in the .sdl file.

The next major release of installscape will better support running in
standalone

The sltar.sh script is in a kit called sl2is.zip, included in every
product definition for an InstallScape release. sl2is.zip is configured
to be the 1st package downloaded and unpacked, so that InstallScape can
then run the script to unpack all the other kits, which are compressed
tarfiles.
No matter what product(s) you select, you must always get sl2is.zip
installed
first (unless it is already installed in your Installation Directory).

If sl2is.zip doesn't get installed first, then InstallScape can't unpack
any other kits. This problem of InstallScape "not finding sltar.sh"
comes
up very rarely, but it doesn't seem to be repeatable, so we don't know
if
it is an intermittent bug in InstallScape or some other problem. All the
reports I know of this problem behave just as you describe above.

A lot of the buttons on InstallScape are from its origin as a 3rd party
tool from InstallScape Inc., and were never implemented for Cadence.
The next release with the "wizard" UI will clean this up.

If you have other problems or questions, please contact Cadence customer
support. The Installation and Licensing support group have extensive
training in supporting InstallScape.

Here are some of the basic steps:
- Create a test bench that stimulates the Verilog HDL or VHDL code correctly;
- Functionally simulate the Verilog HDL or VHDL code until it works for you;
- Synthesize the Verilog HDL or VHDL to gates (using any standard cell library);
- Place those gates into a physical layout using any Place & Route tool;
- Route between those gates using same Place & Route tool (e.g., SOC Encounter);
- Handle power grid, signal intgegrity, timing, and area constraints;
- Add design for manufacturing (e.g., scan chain, test points, etc.);
- Add I/O pads & texted bond pads (pin-grid-array anyone?);
- Physically verify design rules (DRC) & electrical correctness (LVS);
- Parasitically extract & back annotate into your original netlist;
- Functionally resimulate to your satisfaction (meeting specifications);
- etc.

Hi,

It may come a little bit late but there is a way to set defaults for
the Diva Extract an DRC From.

You can use 'defUserInitProc' to modify the Diva Form values.

For the echoCommands off put the following code in the .cdsinit file.

Bernd

;;-------------------------------------------------------

procedure( BFpredefDivaExtForm( )
ivExtOptionsForm->echoCommands->value = nil
)

defUserInitProc( "layerProc" 'BFpredefDivaExtForm )

;;-------------------------------------------------------

Hello again, part 2
What is the best way to set 'default off' for these 'Echo Commands' buttons
in > DRC/Extract forms?

Only speaking for myself, of course, but I believe the main reason for
the "site" restriction is to let the vendor pull the license when
someone starts leasing their licenses to another company. Without it,
there is nothing to prevent someone from setting themselves up as a
software rental company and reducing the incentive to buy the software
from the EDA vendor.

Actually.. I believe they charge you a license fee if you move sites.. for
their time and effort of course

They even charge if you move from one license server to another when
they are in the same location. Rehosting they call it, and it cost
money even if you have maintenance contract. Milage may of cource
vary.

It is amazing that noone from the vendors have even tried to make
their policies clear. There are enough of them listening on these
channels. Working off-site is very easy with the flexlm license system
since you only need to transfer the licensing info. Most programs
check out license when they start, and then keep it, which is very
convenient on a low bandwidth line like a DSL or modem line.

Working off-site could save a lot of jobs since you don't need to move
where the engineers are, have the engineers telecommute to you.

Ok, we've made so far as to finding the required files and stuff and now
we've run into new problems when actually creating the abstract in
abstract generator. After some effort we managed to get the tool to
recognize the pins in our design but now when we try to create the
absstract it fails with the following message:

WARNING (ABS-1076): Cell inverter: Terminal a_bar has no pins on
Metal1-Metal2 Routing grid
WARNING (ABS-1076): Cell inverter: Terminal a has no pins on
Metal1-Metal2 Routing grid

We suppose that this has something to do with the terminals/pins not being
positioned right in the layout.
metal1's pitch is 1.3 and it's offset is 0, metal2's are 1.4 and 0.7
respectively. So we placed the pins at multiples of the pitch values
however that doesn't seem to do it (or we've done it wrong).

Anybody recognize this problem or have any tips on what to do?

Thanks!

Yes a LEF file describing the metals and vias in addition to a lef
describing your cell libraries should be distributed with your cell
library.

We also wonder what files are required to be distributed with the library
to make it complete (like timing files etc.).

At the least you should have a verilog library describing all the cell
behaviours with delay slots for simulation, .lib timing library files
for synthesis, extraction libraries for extraction tools or gds files
for extraction tools to use, gds libraries to be merged after SE flow,
spice files for transistor level lvs. There can be many other views
but these files would be good start for a basic flow.

This is only a warning, the abstract is created anyway so if you're sure
of your layout that's fine.
maybe check prRoutingPitch in the prRules section of the techfile,
that's where the abstract generator takes the pitch values from i guess
for checking this.

Hi Jal,
Which version are you using? I used to use 5.1 and that supported
memory displays in waveform seamlessly, use the source browser to
locate the memory declaration and then you can send that memory to
waveform.

$CDS_INST_DIR/doc/simvision/displaying.html should have the needed

Hi,

Can somebody please inform me as to whether multi-dimensional arrays
are supported by NC-verilog and simvision.

I couldn't get NC-verilog to compile the following bit of code.

//4*4 array of byte
wire [7:0] my_array [1:0] [1:0];

So, instead, I used a 'reg', and this compiled OK,

//4*4 array of byte
reg [7:0] my_array [1:0] [1:0];

BUT, when I simulate my design, and open my .trn file in Simvision
(also tried signalscan), I can't seem to see any of my
multi-dimensional signals. I even tried a simple memory like this:

reg [7:0] mem [0:1023].

and even this was not displayed in the "signal/Variables of scope"
window.

Can these tools not display multi-dimensional arrays, or do I have to
set some kind of option somewhere?

p.s I am new to Verilog (ex-VHDL) and the Cadence toolset.

thanks,
Jal.

Hi,

The problem seemed to be the way I was using the $shm_probe task.

My original code looked like this:

$shm_probe("AC");

This only allows signals and wires to be probed, and therefore all
memories are left out, and consequently will not appear in the wave
window.

Changing the code to:

$shm_probe(tb_top, ("AC"), tb_top.DUT("AM"));

where 'tb_top' is the top level module (my testfixture), and
'tb_top.DUT' is where my memory is declared.

This fixed the problem, as memories (i.e multi-dim arrays) are also
probed during simulation.

regards
Jal.
